Station to Station is one I might get as well. I was also thinking about Last Train Home, even though it’s more of an RTS game.

Also The Crew 2 is on sale for $1, which seems like a good deal even though apparently the game is not that great.

An interesting comment from when this was asked a year ago.

Funniest one imo is Lemmegians (as in Norwegians). Not a very practical name though.

Nix as well

I have home and root partitions encrypted with LUKS, and since they use the same password it automatically unlocks both of them. I think it tries using the first successful password to unlock the other partitions.

Yeah just join my Steam broadcast

I’m on sh.itjust.works and haven’t heard of any issues with it, it’s been working pretty well.

Back in middle school the punishment was a slap to the back of the neck, and I never heard anything about putting your finger in the 👌 to avoid it. Simpler times.

It takes some fiddling, but I’ve been using HDR on Linux since Plasma 6 came out. If you don’t have an AMD GPU it would probably be really difficult to set up though.

I love Loop Habit Tracker, I’ve been using it for almost 3 years and it works great.

Yeah, it probably looks quite a lot better. This one doesn’t look great in dark scenes, and I can see how per-pixel dimming would be a big improvement even in brighter scenes. But this one looks a lot better than my old TN monitor at least, and I just did not want to worry about burn-in or brightness degradation. I’m also a CS student so I do a decent bit of programming, and I got it for a crazy deal from Best Buy for $550, while the Alienware looks to be around $1000.

In terms of brightness, I used to run my old monitor at the lowest possible, but now I kinda wish this one could get even brighter than it is lol.

Now that I’ve gotten a taste of true HDR though, I can see how an oled would fix quite a few issues with this one. Thinking about it now I think I might rather have a 1440p oled than this 4k MiniLED, HDR just makes that big of an impact. Although most of the time this one looks pretty good. I was just hoping this would last me a while until MicroLED or something actually came out.

I have an Acer XV275K P3, a Mini-LED 4k 160hz monitor, and I’d say it looks pretty good. If games have FSR 2, like Baldur’s Gate 3, then I can run them at 1080p and they still look pretty nice.

There is a noticeable difference between running 1440p and 4k, but I’m not sure how that compares to native 1440p since I’ve never had one. It doesn’t look terrible I’d say. I only have an RX 7600 so on games like Doom Eternal I play at 1080p which still looks pretty good. Forza Horizon 5 looks and runs great at 4k though.

I’d say honestly going to a good HDR monitor is a bigger difference than running games at higher resolutions. It looks really nice, mine is MiniLED not an oled, so dark scenes can look weird sometimes (mainly in movies, not games), but the benefit is it can get really bright. And the colors are incredible. HDR doesn’t have any performance impact as well, and SDR content will also look better simply because you have a nice monitor.

HDR (and VRR) have been working for me for the past few months (Plasma 6, AMD), but I still keep Windows around for some games and yeah there’s no way I’m trying VR on Linux. I think I get noticeably worse performance on Linux as well, I think there’s some issue I need to fix with that.

kid3 can apply metadata based on the filename if that’s useful for you (just things like title and track depending on how you name your files). I also use it for manually editing metadata once in a while, selecting multiple songs and setting the same artist or album tag is pretty easy to do.

I’m not sure how well it works as a mood tracker, but I love this app, I’ve been using it for years.

Probably in programming communities ? people will understand : people won’t understand

Are you using a scaling factor with x11 legacy apps set to be “scaled by system”? That runs them at a lower resolution and scales them up. You can fix it by either using Gamescope or changing it to x11 apps “scale themselves”.

I’ve been using my MiniLED monitor (Acer XV275K P3) in HDR mode with Plasma 6 on NixOS with an AMD RX 7600. It works well, HDR content is displayed nicely and SDR content is tonemapped pretty well imo.

It can be a little weird setting up the vk_hdr_layer for mpv, and running games inside Gamescope, but once it works then it looks as good as on Windows I believe.

These aren’t browser games, but could still be fun.

I used to play Battle for Wesnoth a lot as a kid, both with my dad and by myself, and as it’s turn-based it should run fine on a raspberry pi.

OpenTTD could be fun, although it may be a little complicated depending on how old they are. It’s not very difficult in terms of challenge though, it’s more of a sandbox once you get past a certain point. There’s also sandbox options to give yourself lots of money if you didn’t want to worry about money and just build cool trains and stuff.

I used to play a lot of Supreme Commander with my dad as well, so maybe something similar like Beyond All Reason or ZeroK could work if they take an interest to that kind of game. I haven’t tried them though.
